Synchronizing Lotus Notes ID Files for Password Management
Changing passwords on Lotus Notes ID Files offers many challenges. These include:
There is no mechanism for an administrative password reset. If a user forgets their password, a new ID file must be issued – therefore any certificates in their current ID file are lost.
Once a new ID file is issued, it must be delivered to the user. Since ID files can be located anywhere, such as a floppy disk, local hard-drive, or network share, this can be quite difficult.
Bravura Pass includes a Lotus Notes Extension to solve both these problems. The Bravura Security s Lotus Notes Extension successfully simulates an administrative reset using a copy of the ID file and its known (archived) password, and transparently delivers it to the user. This solution uses Bravura Pass’s password reset technology, an internal ID file repository, and a delivery DLL which is installed on each workstation.
